Brycen These Days:

• He throws the BIGGEST tantrums. When he gets mad or doesn't get his way he walks over to the wall or door and hits his head against it. After it happens he always cries, like anyone would if they hit their head. This is a daily occurrence at our house.
• He turned 18 months old on October 5th so he is officially in the nursery! He does really well with other kids so we feel like he'll do fine in nursery. I guess we'll see!
• He is starting to say a lot more words. Lately he's trying to say "thank you" (daydoo). He started saying "hi" at church on Sunday. He was told by members of the ward that he was the best greeter ever. He points to things that he wants and yells if we grab the wrong thing in the pantry. He's vocal, that one! If only he could use his words instead of screaming ha ha.
• Lately he has been having night terrors. Tyson and I weren't sure at first what was going on but realized today it is night terrors. I hate the idea of my little guy having night terrors. But we know a few things to do to avoid them so we'll see how it goes. My mom was staying with us last night when he had one. She almost came out to check on him because of how he was screaming. She thought he was in pain. Poor little guy.
• He loves the little Lorna Doone cookies in the 100 calorie packs. Those are a favorite treat of his. He also really likes to eat chicken nuggets still. We made homemade mac and cheese for dinner last week and he LOVES it. (Check out Cupcake Diaries on Friday for the recipe!!)
• He loves to dip his french fries and chicken nuggets. It started one day at Carino's when he saw me dipping bread into the oil and garlic, as well as into a side of ranch. Ever since that day he has loved to dip stuff. Sometimes he's not even getting any sauce on whatever he's dipping. He'll do the motions right above the dip then eat it.
  
• He loves to brush his teeth. He loves to watch us brush our teeth as well. He has a little Thomas the Tank Engine toothbrush and toothpaste. I think he has 12 teeth. He could have more.
• Brycen is such a good kid in public. He smiles at everyone and waves at them. He's very happy when we're out shopping. Today at Kohl's he was told by three different people that he's a happy boy. It makes me feel good to hear things like that.
• He loves to give kisses. If you say the word, "Kisses" to him he'll pucker up his lips. Or if you're up close to his face he'll automatically pucker his lips, assuming that's what you're wanting. He gives the best little kisses!
• Brycen loves to dance. His latest dance style is bending his knees and swinging his left arm in and out like he's at a hoedown. He gives us a good laugh when he dances.
